i can confirm that glenn is an exceedingly good driver. i still remember the night we were heading up rte. 1 toward college park and a VW Rabbit jumped out in front of us; glenn had to choose between hitting the VW or swerving and letting it hit us. we were in the larger car, so he chose the latter. the VW was still totaled -- several inches shorter in front than it was meant to be -- and there was a *tear* all the way down one side of the Catalina -- but no one was hurt.
i also remember the weird DC phenomenon of people slowing down to 15mph when there's snow on the road -- but not stopping for stop signs or red lights, because god forbid anyone should be expected to STOP on SNOW. snort. i almost got hit by one of them while on a desperate condom run to 7-11 with a very tall, very young -- er, ahem. never mind.
Wee correction -- it was on rt. 193 at or near Mettzerott (sp?) rd.
I feared that if I just hit the brakes and kept pointing straight, I'd surely kill the other driver -- there was no way I was going to lose enough speed in time.
